0:04:18 > 0:04:20- A couple of days ago. - Is that normal?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26We speak on the phone sometimes, but...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32..we haven't been that close just recently.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Any particular reason?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- There was an argument.- About what?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I don't remember.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49She's impulsive. Like her dad.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Is he here?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Can we talk to him?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Classics undergraduate, was studying in Aber.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Pathology think she'd been dead for 8-10 hours before she was found.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12That puts time of death between ten and 12 last night.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14What else have we got?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bruising to the face consistent with a blow or a fall.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18No signs of sexual assault.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20We're waiting for the medical examiner's report to confirm.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What about her shoes, her mobile?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Missing. No sign.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25I want them found.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Alys was dressed to impress.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29She was taking care of the way she looked.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Was that for her own benefit, or somebody else's?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32What about the tattoo?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37A Celtic symbol of female power, sir. Triskele.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38It's got other meanings, too.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Could be religious, could be lots of things.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41What about her parents?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Gwen and Iwan Thomas married young. 1989.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Gwen was 18, Iwan 21.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49They separated in 2004.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52But they were never divorced. What do we know about the father?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53He was one of us.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56A police officer? What happened to him?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We had to let him go. The man liked his drink.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Did you know about this? Let's find out where he lives.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04House on the estate, sir. We've already checked.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06There's no sign of him. He hasn't been seen for days.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Well, let's find out where he works. - Yes, sir.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I want a picture of how the dead girl lived.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Who she knew and what she believed in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Whoever did this felt something for her.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18She wasn't dumped, she was placed.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It was a conscious act.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21And I want to know why.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I don't think I ever spoke to Iwan Thomas.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I was still in uniform back then.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32But you know what happened?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Rumour has it he wasn't up to it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I've found where Iwan Thomas works, sir. I'll check him out.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14What about friends?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17She doesn't have any really.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Only Sara.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Sara Perkins.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26They study together, classics.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28They've been close for years. Still are.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Did Alys have any plans last night?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Was she due to meet someone, go somewhere?
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Did Alys come home in the evenings? Generally, I mean.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46No. No, she's got a flat in town.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- She shares it with Sara. - We'll need an address.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Could you think of anyone that would want to hurt your daughter?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01What's her relationship with her father like?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I don't know.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07They used to be close.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Sara Perkins?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You were friends, weren't you, you and Alys?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We've known each other since primary school.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You must've been through a lot together.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Did Alys have a boyfriend?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Alys didn't like to get involved.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Why not?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You don't seem to know much about your friend, do you?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Don't you care?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Of course I care.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Lately, I'm not sure she cared much about me, though.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Alys changed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22The last few months, she was...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25..she was different.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26We need to see her room.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Odi et amo.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I hate and I love.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I hate and I love.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Who does she hate? Who does she love?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Catullus 85. Odi et amo.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06"I hate and I love.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09"Why, you may ask? I know not,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13"but I feel it happening" and I am tormented.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15She was really taken by it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19She was so full of life.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21When did you see Alys last?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Yesterday.- When?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Morning, in my lecture.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- What kind of a student was she? - Bright.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32But she suffered the usual problems one associates with growing up.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34In what way?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Hm! Alys felt things intensely.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41She was unique. She didn't just study it, she lived it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44She had character.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45She was bright.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47There was no place for mediocrity.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51She was a creative soul.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54But recently she'd lost her way and, er...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Well, it happens.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Were you concerned about her?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Well, she was fragile. There was a darkness in her.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And there was something going on at home.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It was a difficult time for her.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12We need to speak with her father.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, I can't help you there. I'm sorry.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28This is Alys at 17:22 yesterday afternoon,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30arriving at Aberystwyth station
0:13:30 > 0:13:33wearing the same dress, carrying a small bag.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35She was dressed up for something.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- For a man?- Not necessarily.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Now, this is an angle from inside the station.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44She's catching the 17:30 heading east to Shrewsbury.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59I checked CCTV all along the route. She didn't go very far.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Ten minutes later, she got off at Borth station.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Now, if we scroll forward to 22:55...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17..the next train to Aberystwyth is due at 23:25.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18What's she looking for?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Her phone. It has to be.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26She was dead within an hour. Where did she go?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Let's get up there. And I want every inch of that platform searched.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Can I help you?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30And you are?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Dyfan. Dyfan Richard.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I live at the station house. Look after the museum.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Is there a problem?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Do you work here?- I help out.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Keep an eye on the place. Keep everything in order.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Do you know this girl, Mr Richard?

0:16:27 > 0:16:28Most of the people on the platform.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30There was a way about her.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Always full of life.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Ready with a smile.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- When did you last see her? - I'm not sure.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53A few weeks ago?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I only spoke to her a couple of times. That's all.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Such a pretty girl.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18What did you and the girl speak about, Mr Richard?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I don't recall.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24She was headed over to the hotel.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The Rhediol hotel?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Yes. That's the one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Where were you last night?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Here. Home alone.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36And you saw nothing? Heard nothing?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39No. Nothing.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03She was here last night, about six-ish.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05With a man.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Can you describe the man?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I didn't get a look at him. - But you remember the girl?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13She's not the sort of girl you'd forget.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Been here a few times.- A few times?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And you say you never saw the man's face?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, I'm not really sure if it was the same man.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- You heard them together? - Only rowing.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Shouting and screaming, she was, slamming doors.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The whole shebang.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32You should've seen the room afterwards. A right state.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Did they leave anything behind? A bag, shoes?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36How did they pay?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Cash. They left it on here. - What time was this?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- 10:30?- What about the room? Has it been cleaned?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Yes, but, er...you can have a look, if you like.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Why were you calling her?- No reason.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13How do you know her?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- I used to see her round. - You were her dealer?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21We went to a few parties last summer, hooked up a couple of times.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Had a few laughs. No big deal.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25She was wild with a couple of drinks inside her.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26When did you last see her?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- I don't remember.- Try.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- A week? Two? - Where were you last night?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Here till closing time. - What time was that?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Midnight-ish. - What about after closing time?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I went home with someone.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Who?- Oh, does it matter? - Is that how you got your black eye?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Alys' father did it.- Iwan Thomas.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49That's why I was phoning her.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51To warn her he was off his head on booze.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53He gets me outside, tells me to leave Alys alone.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I try to tell him I got nothing to do with Alys any more, and he smacks me.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- When was this?- Sunday night.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Why did you wait so long before phoning Alys?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- I'd been phoning and phoning. - I know, I checked the phone records.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I was trying to warn her. I was looking out for her.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Iwan's not a man you want to cross. - Why hire him?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Knows the patch. He's all right when he's sober.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- And when he isn't? - You stay out of his way.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Terrible what happened, though.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Did you ever meet his daughter Alys?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The man never shut up about her.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- This him?- Yeah.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28You think he'd hurt her?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31He drove taxis for me. I don't want to get involved.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I want a unit outside Iwan Thomas' house.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Yes, sir. There's something else. - What is it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47A postmortem has been completed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52There's evidence of multiple scarring on Alys' inner thigh.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Drink was a release.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01It passed.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09My husband and I had an argument a couple of years ago.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Can you think of any reason why someone
0:34:23 > 0:34:26would want to place a body out there...like that?
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Not to my knowledge, no.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Well, that depends.- On what?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17On whether you had anything to do with Alys' death.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Why did you hit Dean?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26He's a...waste of space.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Do you think he killed your daughter?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35He's capable of it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41She was...

0:38:14 > 0:38:16"and the flowers of the meadowsweet,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18"and from those, they conjured up the fairest
0:38:18 > 0:38:21"and most beautiful maiden that anyone had ever seen."
0:38:21 > 0:38:23"And they baptised her in the way they did at that time
0:38:23 > 0:38:25"and named her Blodeuwedd."

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Alys stayed five times in total.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- I also ran a check on phone numbers taken from Alys' mobile.- Thanks.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42She phoned one number three times that night
0:38:42 > 0:38:45between 6:00 and 6:15pm. No reply.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Then she calls a landline at 6:20pm.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51The call only lasted a few minutes.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55The landline was traced to an address on Constitution Hill.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58- Wynford Rees.- Yes, sir.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You shouldn't have gone up to the marshlands alone like that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- No.- It was reckless. - I know. I'm sorry.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13You might not value yourself much but it doesn't mean that we don't.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14I said sorry, Mared.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24He never asked about Alys. Not once.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Never asked about the case, how it was going.- Who?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Dyfan Richard. He never asked the questions he should have had asked.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30What are you talking about?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Is this Professor Rees' class?- Yes.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Where is he?- He didn't show.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Mrs Rees?- Yes.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Is your husband in?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12You weren't at your lecture this morning, Mr Rees.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14My husband hasn't been well.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19She started missing classes.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22She seemed distracted...
0:40:22 > 0:40:24disinterested.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29I called her to my office to try to get to the source of the problem.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Offered one-to-one tutorials to help.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Doesn't explain the large number of calls she made to you.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Well, she was behind with her work.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40She was nervous, panicking, anxious.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It happens sometimes.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45She called you at home.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Yes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52You gave her your private number?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55She was a troubled soul.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Was the tattoo for you?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Sorry?- The tattoo on her arm.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Where were you Monday night, Mr Rees?- Here.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Can anyone verify that?- I can.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Wynford and I had dinner together.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Thank you, Mr Rees.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57They got together last summer.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00She thought it was just a fling.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04But Dean thought it was more than that.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05He loved her?
0:42:06 > 0:42:07I think so.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11But he'd never admit it.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Why does that hurt you so much, Sara?
0:42:19 > 0:42:20How long have you been seeing Dean?
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Six months.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- Did Alys know?- Yeah.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Did she care?- No.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31She didn't love Dean?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I told you...it was just a fling.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37But to Dean, it meant more? He couldn't let go?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42He was only with me to be close to her.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49He wanted me to dress like her, dye my hair like her.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54He even went and got the same tattoo on his arm.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Like there was some kind of connection between them.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58But there wasn't?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03She hadn't really been close to anybody recently.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09She'd been in a really...weird place.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12The Blodeuwedd stuff in her notebook,
0:43:12 > 0:43:13is that what that was about?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16She said that her and Blodeuwedd were the same.
0:43:17 > 0:43:22Reckoned they'd been conjured out of nothing.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23Whatever that means.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Monday night, Dean was at work, wasn't he?
0:43:31 > 0:43:35According to this, he was at the Pier Amusements till gone midnight.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- No, he wasn't.- Oh, go on.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39I couldn't get hold of him.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I went down there about 10:00 and he wasn't there.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47The guy looking after the place was pissed off,
0:43:47 > 0:43:50said he hadn't seen Dean for hours.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51Where was he, Sara?

0:45:01 > 0:45:02Did it hurt?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- The tattoo.- A bit.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Was it worth it?
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Obviously not.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14It's from Lord Of The Rings.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Where were you on Monday night, Dean?
0:45:19 > 0:45:23I've already told you, I was down the arcade.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24That's not what I've been told.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30I was with a girl.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04What about Wynford Rees?
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Alys and Mr Rees spent a lot of time together.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09He didn't love her.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10And you did?
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Yeah.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33Clancy wasn't making any sense.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38I told him over and over I hadn't seen anybody take his horses...
0:48:38 > 0:48:40but he wouldn't accept it.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42I must've seen something. That was his take on it.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45What about the money you owed for the building work?
0:48:46 > 0:48:51It was nothing. Some slates on the roof, some plastering work.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55I did them a favour, paid the agreed price.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58That's not how they remember it.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02There was a deal. Clancy tried to renegotiate after the event.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04What sort of a man does that?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22He's in prison now, am I right?
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Yeah.
